Game Story

NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- Foiled by Kyle Korver in regulation, 
Casey Jacobsen got even in overtime.

Jacobsen drilled a 3-pointer over Korver with 1:01 remaining to
lift the New Orleans Hornets to a 99-95 victory over the
Philadelphia 76ers.

The league-worst Hornets squandered a six-point lead in the
final 2:20 of the fourth quarter.  A tough jumper by Willie
Green with 19 seconds left gave the 76ers an 84-82 lead, their
first since 2-0.

On the next possession, Dan Dickau penetrated and passed to the
right corner to Jacobsen, who buried a 3-pointer to give New
Orleans the lead with 5.7 seconds to go. Green missed a jumper
and the 76ers fouled Lee Nailon, who made both shots to give the
Hornets an 87-84 lead with 0.4 seconds to play.

By NBA rules, that is enough time for a player to catch a pass
and shoot, which was exactly what Korver did.  He curled around
several screens in the lane, raced to right corner, took the
inbounds pass and fired in the tying 3-pointer at the horn.

Referees reviewed replay for two minutes before determining that
Korver released the shot in time.

"Initially I thought it was good," said Korver, who leads the
NBA in 3-pointers with 119.  "But everyone looked at the replay
for so long.  The ref was shaking his head for a while, so I
started to have a little doubt."

Given a reprieve, the Sixers did not take advantage.  Nailon and
rookie Andre Iguodala traded baskets before a pair of jumpers
by P.J. Brown gave the Hornets the lead for good at 93-89 with
2:06 left.

Just over a minute later, Jacobsen stuck in the dagger with his
3-pointer over Korver. Those were his only two baskets of the
game and his first 3-pointers for the Hornets since being
acquired from Phoenix one week ago.

"I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get my shot,"
Jacobsen said.  "I'm not there yet.  I'm know I'm a good
shooter.  I hadn't gotten very many good looks in the previous
couple of games.  I wasn't thinking the world's coming to an end
or I'm a bad shooter.  Toward the end of the game I got really
good open looks, and they went down."

"You go from extreme highs to extreme lows pretty quick," Korver
said.  "We thought we had the momentum.  We didn't carry it
over into overtime.  They came out and made that first shot and
we never really got anything going.  They hit a couple of big
shots."

Brown collected a season-high 20 points and 10 rebounds and
Dickau added 19 and a career-high 16 assists for the Hornets
(8-34), who have won five of their last six home games.

Corliss Williamson scored 20 points, Green added 18 and Korver
16 for the Sixers (19-23), who have dropped two in a row without
injured superstar Allen Iverson.  The NBA's leading scorer
again sat out with a strained left shoulder.

"We're trying to prove we can compete and play together and win
games without Allen," Green said.  "Sometimes he's going to be
banged up, and we've got to hold the fort down until he gets
back."

In the second quarter, Philadelphia also lost forward Kenny
Thomas, who took a shot in the nose and did not return.  New
Orleans again played without All-Star guard Baron Davis, who
missed his sixth straight game and went on the injured list with
a bruised Achilles tendon.

The Hornets used a 12-0 run late in the first quarter to open a
31-17 lead.  They held a 54-43 advantage at intermission, but
the Sixers opened the third quarter with a 10-0 burst capped by
Korver's 3-pointer.

Philadelphia was within 77-76 after a free throw by Iguodala
with 3:32 to go.  Dickau found Chris Andersen for a layup and
rookie J.R. Smith for a 3-pointer to make it 82-76 with 2:40
left.

Smith scored 15 points for the Hornets, who shot a season-high
50 percent (38-of-76) from the floor but surrendered 28 points
on 23 turnovers.

"We were thinking we didn't win in regulation, but so what?
Let's go out and win it in overtime," said Dickau, who ia
averaging 19.7 points and 7.8 assists during Davis' most recent
absence.  "This is basketball.  This is fun.  Overtime games are
fun.  You might be tired, but they're just as tired as we are."
